A quote from Claire Silver: "This was so hard. Loved so many more than whats chosen here, & if I can find time, want to make a thread discussing them. (...) Please know my favorites list was 341 pieces long, and it was *extremely* painful to pare it down. I hope you're encouraged by that. Of the list, finally narrowed it to Javier Tomeo, Anna Dart and Nate Talbot. All shared high quality work that moved me. Recommend you follow all 3 & watch their work closely."
About the artwork
This highly meticulous work by Anna Dart is about the enduring love and its power to encore us in the midst of external chaos. There is a contrast between the old love and new solitude the virtual world brings, masterfully represented by the watercolour core and multilayered roots generated by AI.
“The feelings I wanted to contain in “Fu Mar AI” are best represented by Kara Jackson's poetry "The World Is About to End and My Grandparents Are in Love" which speaks about the destruction of the modern-day world and how this has ruined the chances of having a love like our grandparents do.”
